How do we know that Christ could not sin?

Answered in 1 source

Christ could not sin because He is God and possesses the Father's perfect and holy nature.

The argument that Christ could not sin is grounded in His divine nature. As stated in the sermon, it is impossible for Christ to sin because He is God, and His very essence is holiness and perfection. This idea is supported by the nature of His incarnation, where His human flesh was inseparably united with the divine. In John 1:14, we see that 'the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,' showing that while Christ experienced temptation in His humanity, His divine nature inhibited any possibility of sin. Moreover, Colossians 2:9 states, 'For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily,' reinforcing that everything He produced was perfection due to His divine heritage, thus He could not sin.
